Equal Opportunities

Item 5 is consideration of the paper from the Equal Opportunities Committee on mainstreaming equal opportunities in committees. Members will note that a workshop is being held. It is suggested that

"at least one member from the Committee … attend the workshop"

to discuss the topic. Do I have any volunteers?

I cannot go on that day.

The day suggested is 20 June, a Wednesday, and the workshop is to be held in the evening.

I cannot go then either.

Any volunteers? If not, all I can do is have the invitation circulated to the members of the committee who are not present today and we will see if any of them can attend.

I think that it is important that somebody from each committee goes. We have been discussing a human rights commissioner. We should equally be attending to equal opportunities.

Indeed. We will see if we can get somebody.

We now move on to item 6, which is to be taken in private.

Meeting continued in private until 15:25.
